As more teams are eliminated from the postseason, more draft slots are locked into place.
The first 18 spots in the 2025 NFL Draft were secured following the end of the regular season. However, for the 14 teams that made the playoffs, depending on when those clubs exited would determined their placement in the order.
The divisional round is complete, with four more teams knocked out of the hunt for the playoffs. Now, a total of 28 spots in the draft have been secured.
Barring a trade, the Titans are choosing first in the 2025 draft. Tennessee has a plethora of needs, but the club seems likely to be targeting a quarterback. The need for a QB also applies to the two teams following directly behind the Titans — Browns and Giants.
But when it comes to back end of the first round, the order won't be fully decided until after Super Bowl 59. Here is how the divisional round impacted the selection sequence.

The 2025 NFL Draft class is a talented one.
The top quarterbacks are Colorado's Shedeur Sanders and Miami's Cam Ward. With QB-needy teams at the top of the draft in the Titans, Browns, and Giants, the two almost assuredly will be the first names taken off the board.
Heisman Trophy-winning two-way player Travis Hunter is the other big name from this draft class, which also features Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter, LSU OT Will Campbell, Michigan DT Mason Graham, and Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan, among others.
